I lived and worked in Canada in the 90's for a couple of year, drilling a lot of wells out at Dinosaur. We had a condo in the Eue Claire back when there was a block of hookers between there and the downtown area. I grew up in south and west Texas. I still wear boots and jeans.
When you want to take a week and do the icefields touring route on a bike let me know and I'll get the fenders and racks put on the Trek 520. I'm looking forward to Calgary to Jasper, with a loop back through Edmonton or such.
